WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Bona fide
settlers ON the ten-mile strips on either
side of the forty-mile grant along the
line of the Northern Pacific railroad are
within the pale of the law, under recent
decisions of Secretary Lamar, and will
be sustained in their rights by the in
terror department.. John w. Lebarnes,
the veteran law clerk of the general
land Office, says: f.

settlers for homestead and presumption.
Registers and receivers of land offices will
make entries next month for those who
come in good faith. The public lands are

and outside the legal forty miles in the terri

decision of Secretary Lamar and always
should have been SO considered. The

another and additional ten miles by
misconstruction and misinterpretatiOn of An
act which was lobbied through congress.
Secretary Lamar has put a quietus upon
those claims. Not only the greater part,
but all of the ten miles now belong to the
public domain beyond question. Titles in
volved in great farms and smaller lots will
be equitably settled by the department. There
is no need for alarm on the part of the pres;
ent holders of land in good faith, but the
railroad never had title, and hence could
not convey good titles.

There is possibility that the title of
the gentleman here pictured will be
changed III the sweet hereafter from
General" to ''Congressman;" but it is
fair to say that this is merely a posi-
bility. 1t depends entirely on two
things: The Democrats may poll
enough votes to elect a man of their
own, or Maj. Edwards may knife him in
his own camp. AT any rate, though,
Gen. Allen is a candidate for the place.
This is an assured certainty. He re-
sides in Fargo, and this may aid him
in. his canvass. If good looks
went for anything the general would
certainly be strong candidate. He is
one of the finest looking men north of
the forty-seventh parallel, and very
popular gentleman witha1. 1t will be
noticed that his lett eye is cooked a
little to one side. He is not cock-eyed,
however. He is simply keeping cases
on his old and valued friend, Mai.
Edwards. The general has lately eX-
pressed himself as dubious about the
absolute correctness of the tale about

THE FEELING Ar MINOR.

II
Everybody Would Rejoice if Only
the Lands Held BY the Specu-
lators Were Affected By the
Order.
Special to the Globe.
MINOR, Sept. So The published
proclamation of the United States land
office at Fargo, that on and after Oct.
81 the indemnity lands of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company will be sui
ject to entry under the general land
laws, has given great satisfaction here,
and the prairieS are being dotted with
board claim shanties, of the old style of
architecture, by parties who are taking
up their residences therein, intending
thereby to secure a privilege of fling,
to the exclusion of all Others,
under what is known as the squat
ter'S right" There is great deal of
doubt and diversity of opinion as to
what will be the real status of the fl
ings, as between the government, The
railroad company and the entrymen; but
people are taking their chances in great
number. There are over $4,000 acres of
choice indemnity land within ten miles
of this town, and the benefit that VIII
lUuIc " tilC lOWll ltlC NilOiC SOuHSS
by its settlement is almost beyond cal
culatiOn-fOr the price it is. now, held at
by the railroad has practically
KEPT IT OUT OF THE MARKET.
The qualification of the people takes
the form of praise of the DemOcrotic adj
ministration, but if it turns out that
the railroad holds the land, Democrats
will be scarce in these parts. One thing
to be regretted about the affair
is the uncertainty and anxiety
caused those who bought land from the
company, not knowing the real state of
affairs between the latter and the gov
eminent To have recourse against the
company for the actual cost of the land
would be little satisfaction to those liv-
ing on their purchases, but the ma
jority who bought land in that
way are nonresident Specula-
tors, who got their land cheap by
buying Northern Pacific stock at from
% to 40 cents on the dollar and turning
it into the company at par in payment
for land. If they can recover from the
company the amount of cash that their
deed represents it will be seen that
they will be at least nothing out, for
none of their investments date ve!y far
back. The situation of affairs in this
country in regard to the indemnity
lands may be regarded as true picture
of the situation all along the line,
though in some places the company has
sold more land than in others.

The Mrs. Randolph Robbery.

Special 10 the GiODe.
GLENDALE, Sept. 3O.-The story that
Mrs. F. G. Randolph, of Cakes, was
robbed in Minneapolis of $500 turns out
to be robbery of the husband by the
wife. Mrs. Randolph, it is alleged, had
been on intimate terms for some time
with MIR. Tabor, and she persuaded
her husband to let her have $500 to go to
Minneapolis for the purpose of purchas-
ing stock of millinery goods. She had,
prior to this time, secured from her hus-
band several hundred dollars besides,
and. with S7O0 or $500 she went to Min
.neapolis, where she met her paramount,
and together left for parts unknown.
Prior to their leaving Minneapolis Mrs.
Randolph wired her husband that she
had been robbed. The husband fol-
lowed the pair as long as his money
lasted and then returned home, resolved
to resort to the courts for divorce and
let them go.

Delinquent Personal Taxes.

Special to the CLIQUE.
SIOUX FALLS, Sept. 3O.-The contest
over the matter of selling real estate for
back personal taxes has been deepening
during the past week, SO that the air is
now enthusiastically blue. The matter
will lie brought before the court on
SATURDAY. in the following way: Treas
urer Swenson has advertised to sell, for
personal taxes delinquent during the
years 70, 80, 'S2, 'S3, 'S4, 'S5 and sc, the
lands of Peter Thompson, who lives
in Split Rock township. But Thomp-
son did not prove up on his land
until September, 1885. and, under the
homestead law by which he acquired
his title. the statute makes land exempt
from liens of all kinds contracted prior
to date of proof. Parties holding
mortgage over Thompson will try to en-
join Swenson from selling the lands adj
vertised, and the case in this form will
come up on Saturday or Monday. While
the question involved is not whether the
sale of real estate for personal taxes is
legal. it is likely that by common con-
sent the question will be introduced.
Lawyers here are divided on the matter,
but those who have studied most into
the question, appear to be inclined to
the belief that the treasurer's action
will not hold water.
